Four Cannon Captured, Two Hundred Stand of Arms, and a number of Prisoners, inelading sev- eral officers. The Wsr Department hes received the follow- ing : . Cincinnati, May 24.—Col. Heth with 3,000 men attacked our forces under Col. Crook yester- day morning at Lewisburg, and after a severe fight the enemy were driven back and completely routed. Crook’s force numbered 1,300. Our loss is 10 killed, 40 wounded and © missing. The enemy’s loss is much greater. We captured four cannon, two of them rifled, two hundred stand of arms, end about one hundred prisoners, in- cluding one lieutenant colenel, one major, and several captains and leutenante. The Latest from McClellan's Army. Four Bridges Thrown Across the Chiekahominy. h side in formi- le foree, —— The latest intelligence from the Peninsula re_ ceived in Washington announces that Genera; McClellan bas thrown four bridges rcross the Chickahominy, and that the main body of his army occupy the ground on the south bank for a mile wide. A severe northeast storm prevails about Fortress Monroe this morning. Our Army on the ad THE DISASTER AT FRONT ROYAL Col. Kenley’s command, just defeated at Front Royal, consisted of his own Maryland regiment of infantry, and three or four companies of Col. Thornton Broadhead’s regiment of Michigan cavalry. Fromali we can gather, we are satisfied that the attacking rebel force consisted of a full brigede, and therefore out numbered Col. K.’s three or fourto one. Most of the cavalry are safe, though we fear that most of the infantry were captured. The telegraphic account of the Union victory at Lewisburg, Va., which we publish this after- noon, affords some consolation for this Front Royal mi The Fugitive Slave Law Imbreglio. See the Star’s local columns to-day for an ac- count of the finale of the “‘ mistakes of the night’: before last—the releese by the Provost Guard of the Deputy Marshal and failor of this District, and the simultaneous releare of the Sergeant and sentry of the Provost Guard recently held by the Marshal. A publication upon the subject made in a morning paper makes it incumbent upon us to sift its points. It states that the negro whom the military governer ordered to be taken from the Marshal’s custody by military force, had a mili- tary protection. We apprehend that that is a mistake; though, if true, it goes to prove the sweeping impropriety of depriving citizens o¢ their property through granting such ‘‘protec- tions.’ The negro is certainly the property of a lady as loyal, quite, as any f2rson in the United States, which is notorious to all residents of the district of the county in which she resides. For nearly a year past the Stars and Stripes have floated from her premises, where they were placed by her own hand. We state these facts that the public may perceive that these ‘protec- tions”. operate quite as effectually against the lawful rights of the loyal, as against those of the disloyal. If the military may, at the point of the bayonet abrogate one law here, they may as properly ab- rogate any otber law’s operation in this District. The fact that the law !s unpopular with abolition. ists amounts to no justification whatever for thus defeating its operation. So long as there was the slightest military necessity for miiitary tnterfer- ence here with the administration of thecivil law, no mac tore heartily sustained that policy than ourself. Onur aim in so doing was to maintain the integrity of the State—the Union—at all hazerds. Our aim being still to maintain it, we as heartily deprecate the unquestioned supremacy of military role (so foreign to the principle of our Govern- ment) in civil affairs here, now that all realize that no rebellion exists in Maryland, and that the Federal capital Is no longer In any danger what- ever. ‘The justification by the newspaper referred to above of military protection to runaway slaves of citizens of Maryland, amounts simply tos jus tification of the policy of abolishing slavery in that State at the point of the bayonet—a policy the Government entertains no idea whatever of endorsing. To the bundreds of thousands in the border States whose loyalty under the pressure of almost appalling adverse circumstauces notorl- ously saved the Government in Its late hours of sorest trouble, the loss of property to the loyal of Maryland through “military Protection,” is most ungracious. Its continuance must naturally render the work of effectnally putting down the rebellion a task of greater diiticulty; as being Ukely to make enemies rather than friends for the good cause, where friends are most needed. That loyal men who lose property or receive Personal injury through the exercise of military power, will, as soon as possible, seek redress at law, iscertala. ‘hey would be more than human were they to look to Congress for reparation, rather than to the citizen's shield—the law. Thus, it is already notorious that hundreds of citizens of Maryland who claim t» have lost slaves bythe direct interference of the military, are busily en- gaged in getting together testimony hkely to re- cover for them verdicts 1n United States cbnrts, against the individual military otlicers whose orders, they aver, have damaged them. That is, in cases where the officers may have Property out of which to satisfy judgments. These cases can hardly be tried before the end of the war, by which time, in the mutability of our national politics, it is by no means impcs- sible that the government may be in the hands of those as anxious to bring the acts of our present authorities into populer odium, as those in Con- gress who are endeavoring to bring about the abolishment of slavery as the result of the war, certainly are to deprecate all the acts of the last government. Should such a change in our na- tional government take plece, the chances are ten to one that all that the new powers can do in the courts to aid such claimants, will of course be done. We call attention to this phase of the case, simply by way of Illustrating the trouble in time to come that is likely to arise from these un- fortunate occurrences. CONGKSSSIONAL. —o—__—.
